    The WHCA's annual dinner, begun in 1920, has become a Washington, D.C. tradition and is usually attended by the President and Vice President. Fifteen presidents have attended at least one WHCA dinner, beginning with Calvin Coolidge in 1924. The dinner is traditionally held on the evening of the last Saturday in April at the Washington Hilton. The WHCD has been increasingly criticized as an example of the coziness between the White House press corps and the Administration. The dinner typically includes a skit, either live or videotaped, by the sitting President in which he mocks himself, for the amusement of the press corps.

    President Bill Clinton spoke at the annual dinner sponsored by the White House Correspondents Association following a comedy routine by Elayne Boosler. In his remarks, the president made humorous remarks about his first 100 days in office, including the fate of his economic stimulus package and other recent issues in the news. Accompanying the President on the dais were the First Lady and Vice President and Mrs. Gore.
